Yuval Dolev, Time & Realism: Metaphysical and Antimetaphysical Perspectives, MIT Press, 2007. 

"The great achievement of Time and Realism is that it shows how the two conflicting ideas of time misrepresent the role that temporality plays in our lives as well as in science. Dolev shows how philosophers can refuse to spatialize time without being forced to fall back into the incoherent picture of time as a river that flows by. Time and Realism is also remarkable for successfully connecting what at first blush seem two unrelated areas of metaphysics--Dummettian realism/antirealism, and the metaphysics of tenses. Yuval Dolev clearly explains an important problem, and the major views about it, and then shows us an original and plausible way of resolving it. This is contemporary philosophy at its best."
--Hilary Putnam, Cogan University Professor Emeritus, Harvard University

"Dolev's claims are both original and persuasive. He aims to transcend the now entrenched dichotomy of 'tensed' and 'tenseless' theories of time, revealing their shared presuppositions and questioning them. In so doing, he poses a challenge that all participants in that debate would do well to take seriously."
